If you're using a compiled distribution of BreezeWiki, the main @code{config.ini} file will actually be a symlink to the real location of the file. Make sure not to erase the symlink, or your settings will be ignored!

@subsubsection{Example}
Here is an example of using environment variables in a typical shell:
@verbatim{
bw_port=4000 bw_debug=false racket dist.rkt
